I was an imaginative kid. My sister needed entertaining, whereas I was the one under the table playing with a bit of fluff on the carpet. I was the sort of child who would spend time rolling up balls of all different kinds of fluff and that would be my little family.
Growing up in Mexico, I have many fond memories of not only celebrating posadas with my family, but also of the time spent together menu planning and prepping for decoration and entertaining activities. A lot of work goes into celebrating these traditions, but that doesn’t mean they have to cost a lot too.

I work very hard at relationships. I’ve done the thing of being home. I worked all day and came home and did all the stuff at home that a woman is supposed to do, the cooking and the entertaining. I’m a perfectionist, and, besides, I loved all those things.

The concept of ‘Dhan Dhana Dhan’ is an entertaining one, and I am sure the audience will like it.
My philosophy as a filmmaker is to inform and entertain at the same time. And when I went away from documentaries into miniseries like ‘Roots,’ I did the reverse. Instead of just entertaining, I want to inform at the same time.

I always deliver on my promises, and I can promise that doing ‘Strictly’ would be as much of an entertaining laugh for the viewers at it would be for me.
I just love making music and entertaining. I really do live for this culture. I don’t think about the other stuff.
No matter how happy or hopeful I am, I always tend to drift back to that. It’s underneath all the music I’ve ever written… An artist is trying to tell you how he’s feeling. And if that accidentally becomes entertaining, it becomes a career.

Indian cinema is entertaining, and what I love most about it is the songs and dances in the films.

And Garrison Keillor I think is a fascinating guy and really entertaining.
Is adult entertainment killing our children? or is killing our children entertaining our adults?
Everybody did something. It was very entertaining. We had a lot of fun. Lot of fun. And there was no segregation, that I could see. I never saw any.
When you’re a kid, ‘Star Trek’ is a slower burn. It’s funny, it’s entertaining, but it also has a maturity about it – which is its universal appeal, I think.
I don’t feel like a live set even seems super real for an electronic act like me. It’s not really that entertaining. I’ve seen a lot of my favourite acts take it to a new level with a live band and stuff, which is amazing, but for me, a live set would be boring to watch.

Spike is an entertainment company. So why not have entertaining fights when you can do them?
Music. It has always showed me that I could do what the other kids couldn’t do. So I will keep playing and singing and entertaining, as long as the good Lord lets me. That is my life.

If you listen to my tapes, you’d hear 14 different ways to arrange the rhythm guitar behind the harmony vocal, and then 14 different ways with a different vocal. You’d have to really be a music lover to sit through that and find it entertaining. I enjoy it, but I’m easy to please.
There is less difference than you would imagine entertaining little children and entertaining adults.
When I started playing basketball, they always would have me at the block, and I’m like, ‘Yo, I don’t want to play down here. I want to do something else.’ This is not entertaining to me, and whatever the guards do, I wanted to do.
The only thing I’ve cooked while entertaining is stir-fry.
